SAN FRANCISCO - Barry Bonds gave Benito Santiago a congratulatory hug, and Santiago gave the slugger a friendly earful.

"I told him he's not the only one who can hit one out to straightaway center," Santiago said. Santiago homered twice, Bonds also connected and Damian Moss snapped a three-game losing streak, leading the San Francisco Giants to a 10-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night.

The NL West-leading Giants have won four of five this season against Arizona. The Diamondbacks have lost five straight in Pacific Bell Park, including a crazy 4-3, 13-inning setback Tuesday night.

Santiago made Arizona starter John Patterson (0-2) pay for walking Bonds in the second, hitting a drive deep into the bleachers in left-center for his eighth homer of the season to extend his hitting streak to 11 games.

With Bonds on base again in the fifth on a single, Santiago did the same thing. He hit a shot to dead center for his ninth homer in 2003.

"I've been hitting all year long," Santiago said. "The fact they put me behind that guy and the bat is swinging good, I've just got to take it. ... I like the pressure. I don't like the fact they walk that guy. I take it personal."

Bonds dealt the next blow, hitting his 626th career homer in the seventh off Eddie Oropesa, the slugger's 13th of the season and first in eight days.

The 38-year-old Santiago, an All-Star last season batting behind Bonds, had his 11th multihomer game and first since July 26, 1997, against Kansas City while playing for Toronto.

Santiago's unsettled contract situation - the catcher can become a free agent after the season - hasn't seemed to affect his focus at the plate lately. He is 27-for-72 (.375) with 10 runs scored, six homers and 23 RBIs in his last 18 games.

Moss (6-3), who began the season 5-0 before dropping three straight, hadn't won since May 7 at Florida. He effectively got out of a couple jams, including the bases loaded in the second.

The Diamondbacks recalled Patterson from Triple-A Tucson before the game to start in place of right-hander Brandon Webb, who missed his start Wednesday because of tendinitis near his right elbow and was placed on the 15-day disabled list.

Rockies 6, Dodgers 0

DENVER - Shawn Chacon pitched two-hit ball over eight innings and hit a two-run single as Colorado defeated Los Angeles.

The Rockies beat the Dodgers for the second straight game after Los Angeles came to Coors Field with a 10-game winning streak.

Mark Sweeney hit a two-run homer for Colorado.

Chacon (7-2) allowed only two hits to Paul Lo Duca and struck out seven in setting a career high for wins in a season. He walked one.

Vic Darensbourg allowed two hits in the ninth to finish the 23rd shutout at Coors Field in nine seasons. All three shutouts by the Rockies this season were started by Chacon.

Colorado chased starter Darren Dreifort (4-4) with six runs in the first three innings.

Padres 8, Brewers 6

SAN DIEGO - Gary Bennett hit a two-run homer with one out in the ninth inning to give San Diego the win over Milwaukee.

Bennett's first homer of the season, on a 1-1 pitch from Luis Vizcaino (1-3), barely cleared the left-field fence. It was the catcher's first homer in 163 at-bats dating to July 21 while with Colorado.

San Diego's Brian Buchanan tied his career-highs with four hits and four RBIs, and started the winning rally with an infield single.

Mike Matthews (2-3) pitched a perfect ninth for the win.

It was just the fifth victory in 30 games for the Padres (15-38), who have the NL's worst record. San Diego had lost four straight games over the previous nine days to the Brewers (19-33), who have the NL's second-worst record.

Cardinals 3, Astros 1

ST. LOUIS - Jason Simontacchi pitched a six-hitter for the first complete game of his career and St. Louis, despite losing center fielder Jim Edmonds, beat Houston.

Edmonds bruised ribs on his right side making a lunging catch of Brad Ausmus' sinking liner to end the second inning. Edmonds will miss at least the series finale on Thursday and a team spokesman said the injury would be re-evaluated this weekend.

Simontacchi (2-3) walked none and struck out five in his 34th major league start.

Jonathan Johnson (0-1) made his second career start, and first since 1998, after his contract was purchased from Triple-A New Orleans. He lasted 5 2-3 innings and gave up three runs on eight hits.

Cubs 5, Pirates 4

CHICAGO - Damian Miller hit a three-run homer and Alex Gonzalez hit a two-run drive as Chicago beat Pittsburgh and stopped the Pirates' three-game winning streak.

Mark Prior (6-2) struck out eight in 7 2-3 innings, allowing four runs and eight hits. Mike Remlinger relieved and escaped an eighth-inning jam when Randall Simon flied out, and Joe Borowski finished for his 10th save in 12 chances.

Jeff D'Amico (4-5) dropped to 6-1 against the Cubs, giving up all five runs and five hits in seven innings.

Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon was ejected in the second inning for arguing with the umpires. It was his second ejection of the season.

Marlins 4-6, Expos 3-0

MIAMI - Michael Tejera pitched six shutout innings to help Florida complete a doubleheader sweep of Montreal.

The Marlins have won six in a row, their longest winning streak since a six-game string from Sept. 26-Oct. 1, 2000.

Tejera (1-3) gave up five hits, walked two and struck out four.

Zach Day (4-3) took the loss in the second game, giving up six runs on eight hits in 5 2-3 innings.

Mike Lowell had three hits, including a two-run double in the first inning, and Alex Gonzalez hit a two-run triple in the sixth.

The Marlins won the opener thanks to Tommy Phelps (2-0), a 29-year-old left-hander, who gave up three runs and four hits in 5 1-3 innings.

Montreal's Livan Hernandez (4-3) lasted six or more innings for the ninth time in 10 starts, allowing four runs and 11 hits in six innings.

Braden Looper pitched a perfect ninth for his eighth save in nine chances in the opener.

Phillies 11, Mets 3

PHILADELPHIA - Ricky Ledee and Bobby Abreu hit three-run homers and Vicente Padilla pitched seven solid innings, leading Philadelphia over New York.

Jim Thome, Jimmy Rollins and Placido Polanco each had solo homers for the Phillies, who stopped a three-game losing streak.

Padilla (4-6) allowed one run and three hits in his first victory since shutting out the Atlanta Braves on April 19. Despite six walks, he improved to 5-1 against the Mets.

Mets starter Pedro Astacio (3-2) gave up seven runs and eight hits in four innings.
